Oh, hello there!

I am a Creative Director with a background in Art Direction. I spent the last four years leading creative for uni Brands including POSCA and managing a brand team for PayPal/Venmo at Monks.

‍

In the past 14 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work for a variety of brands like Wild Turkey, Ancestry, UN Women, Kleenex, MasterCard, Chevrolet, and Obama Youth. Recently, I have focused on global brand platforms, traditional broadcast, and digital video but my experience spans to interactive, 360, and experiential projects as well.

‍

My favorite things about working in advertising are learning about new things with every project and being able to work with groups of incredible people. I look at each brief as a puzzle to solve and love being able to bring all the pieces together to make something meaningful / fun / entertaining.

Where I've been

In my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse clients, from grassroots campaigns to renowned global brands. Each project has brought its unique challenges, which I embrace as opportunities for growth and innovation.

I also lead a team of dedicated creatives on the PayPal brand. We worked on everything from product launches for PayPal and Venmo to internal brand guidelines and were a source of truth through several brand revamps.

Between brand campaigns I also lead both domestic and global pitches and successfully won back the P&G client.
